Tag Archives: around the internet

It’s time for another edition of around the internet, where I share some of the cool and interesting stuff I stumble across on my internet adventures. I hope everyone is having a great New Year so far! Mine’s going pretty well so far (better than last year, at any rate) and I hope it stays that way. Not just for me, but for everyone reading this!

The next time someone asks me if I sell my stuff on etsy, I should show them them article about how everything is not a side hustle. I honest-to-goodness could do a whole rant about why people asking to buy a crochet item is really irritating. I won’t but I could.

Here is a map with the food your state hates the most…except some of these aren’t actually foods. I’m looking at you, Virginia and Illinois. I’m sorry, I just don’t get why dabbing pizza grease with a napkin and biting string cheese are considered food. I’d understand really greasy pizza but biting string cheese? I’m just confused.

I’ve been super-excited about the adaptation of To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, and it’s super cute. I’m hoping the rest of the series will get adapted as well. Also, I love this interview with Jenny Han.

I’ve made bread a few times, and I always seem to have a hard time with- it’s never as good as I think it’s going to be, but not only is this bread easy, it’s also really good. It reminds me of the bread you get at Panera as a side (and yes, I’m that person who gets a side of bread with their sandwich). I normally try to avoid using the oven during the summer, but this bread is worth it.

I don’t listen to audiobooks often enough, but I really need to start listening to the audio books I get from audible. There are great things about print/e-books and audio, but at least there are different formats to fit what’s going on in my life. I do like listening to audio books when I crochet and on my commute to work.

I don’t know if I could keep my goodreads TBR shelf at 100 books, but I’m impressed with people who can. I do go through it occasionally and get rid of books I no longer want to read. And this year, I’ve been pretty good about actually reading books on it, so it feels like it’s getting smaller.

If you’re a Murderino, you’ll probably like this list of books recommended by the hosts of My Favorite Murder. I love My Favorite Murder, and I totally recommend it if you like true crime and comedy.

I love my local library, and I’d be lost without it. I completely agree with this blog post about how useful libraries are. I can’t say that I’m surprised that someone would write an article about how getting rid of libraries would save taxpayers money, but they always seem to be written by 1- someone who’s never worked in a library and 2- someone who’s privileged enough to not need the resources of the library.

I disagree with some of the frozen foods some of these editors won’t buy since it seems so much easier to buy frozen pizza and tv dinners for when I don’t want to cook and don’t have any leftovers to eat. I think the only frozen bread I’ve seen is garlic bread…and I don’t get the obsession with Halo Top that people seem to have. Especially since they use the fact that it’s low-calorie to eat the whole container, which makes no sense at all. But whatever floats your boat, I guess.

As a medical receptionist, I complete agree with #9 and #13. Also #24. I could do a whole post about those points specifically (as well as some other things I see often). I mean, I won’t, but I could. I think this list is something to think about.

I thought I’d do another one of these, since I had a lot of fun putting the last one together. I’m not sure how often I’ll be doing these, but probably when I have a bunch of really cool things I want to share.

I’m always looking for new podcasts to listen to, so this list could be a great place to start. I’ve been listening to My Favorite Murder a lot, but it’s been a while since I’ve found a new podcast that actually sticks.

So…apparently I never knew that the vegetable drawers in my fridge had humidity control, so this was pretty informative. Actually, it’s not that I didn’t know, because I always noticed that part of it, I just never knew it was to control humidity.

I’ve been meaning to do a post like this for a while, but I never manage to actually get around to doing it! I figured now might be a good time to share some of the really interesting (and weird, in some cases) things I’ve stumbled across the last few months.

This post about life going on really resonates with me. I can definitely relate.

I love seeing how people budget for their grocery shopping. This is part of a series, but the one I link to is probably the closest to how I personally budget. I kind of wish we saw a longer period of time- say, a month- because I feel like we don’t see a lot of grocery shopping. It’s much more snack-buying, eating out and eating left-overs, which is fine. I guess I just wanted to see a little more.
